Our Advocacy philosophy
Step-by-Step Guide
Most organizations don't have enough advocates, so we created a step-by-step system that helps them grow their grassroots supporters, provide advocacy education to create activated advocates, who defend and protect the mission, magnifying their influence.
Step One
Inspire - people must be inspired to want to take action. They need to understand their important role in the success of the mission.
Step Two
Educate - people must feel comfortable in their knowledge of what to do as an advocate. What are the do's and don'ts.The best practices to achieve success. Without advocacy education people will fear engaging.
Step Three
Engage - a higher percentage of people will engage in an advocacy activity if they are first inspired and then second provided advocacy education to know what to properly do. This engage step is the last step to be a full-fledged advocate.
Step Four
Activate - people want to be a part of a cause greater than one's self-interest. When you have activated advocates, they will always be there to support your mission. These people are your go-to advocates. They are ready to defend and protect.
